Default 95 46RH behind a 99 5.9l

Hey all, I've doing a lot of reading here and can't seem to find a clear cut answer. I have a fully rebuilt (and expensive!) 46RH in my 2WD 95 Ram 1500 with a 5.2l magnum in it and the motor just blew 500kms after transmission was replaced. I have been given a donor (No body panels left but runs and drives excellent) 2WD 99 ram 1500 with a 5.9l and I would love to swap into my 95. I understand the external balance vs internal balance changes required and the PCM swap as well. My question is if I can make the newly rebuilt 46RH operate behind the 99 5.9l that obviously currently has the 46RE? Has anyone made this work? Thanks in advance all!

Cheers,
Ryan

You would need a 95 5.9 PCM but physically the motor will bolt to the 46RH. Now if you want to use the 99 PCM forget it as you'd need to the wiring under the hood, dash with wiring, interior wiring, and a new transmission
